Sync OneDrive folders with default MacOS folders (Desktop and Documents)

I'm a new happy Mac user, coming from Windows PC. I used to sync my desktop and my documents folder in my old PC with corresponding folders in OneDrive so, when configuring a new PC, the OneDrive configuration just revealed my files.


Migrating to Mac, of course, it's not so easy, but there is a way to confiure my Mac Desktop to sync with OneDrive desktop? and same for documents?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.0

From the link leroydouglas posted, it doesn't appear Microsoft allows that type of integration.

Unless someone knows how to make it happen, the workaround I can see is to copy your Desktop and Documents folders into the OneDrive folder and replace the sidebar links with the ones in the OneDrive folder. Then, stop using those folders in your Home.
